Description of the problem	My complaint appears to be exactly the same as odi id number : 10335343 i purchase a new 2011 sonata limited which now has 3300 miles on it. It is a great car except for one major issue. On flat roads at highway speeds the car drifts all over the road! If you do not make a correction for 5 seconds then you will find yourself in either the lane to the left or right of you. It is very dangerous and extremely exhausting trying to keep the car in the middle of the lane. I noticed this issue from the very beginning. The day after we took possession of the car we drove about 4 hours on the highway. The vehicle feels like it's being pushed side to side by the wind, but the wind wasn't blowing. When driving down the highway with no other cars around, the car will drift to one side or the other as if we are being passed by a semi truck who is disrupting the air flow around our car. I took the car to the dealer yesterday. The mechanic drove the car and said he didn't notice anything. He contacted hyundai tech support (i think that's what they called it) and then followed the steps they told him to check everything with the steering. Everything came back within specs. I however would propose that there is an inherent issue with the electronic steering system which allows too much play in the wheel at highway speeds and/or causes the drive motor to over-correct or over-exaggerate the steering input from the driver at highway speeds.
